I have been doing a lot of reading on this forum about this problem. I think my problem is just a tad bit different because I cannot get the phone to recognize the USB connection all the time. When I do, I'm not sure how to use MTTY to get to the "cmd>" prompt.
Right now, my phone has booted into the WM6.1 release from HTC and AT&T but cannot be recognized by the Mobile Device Center on Vista. Also, MTTY does not give me the option to select USB. My sim card and MicroSD card are not in the device. I've replaced the battery with a Seidio 1600mAh as I thought this had to do with the battery not getting a good connection or charge. That has proved to me incorrect to a point because my phone will boot into the OS more now than it did before.
Since I cannot connect the phone to the Mobile Device Center, I reset the device and it immediately goes to the bootloader screen. I hook up the USB cable is the phone does not recognize the connection. It still says "Serial" at the bottom. The other information given is KAIS1*0, SPL-3.56.0000, CPLD-8.
I need help. I got this phone over a year ago as a refurb from AT&T. HTC has asked that I send the phone in for repair but I'm sure that will cost about the same as the phone originally did.
Please help.
Can anybody help with this?

I just unpacked my vario a couple of hours ago and im already in deep ****
I played around with it a bit first, unlocked it so could get my old sim in it, en then i wanted to unlock it with lokiwiz to install a different rom so i could get rid of the t-mobile junk they put on there.
Lokiwiz loaded al the files correctly and performed a reset on my vario, when is rebooted it needed my pin code, but i thought my new sim was still in there instead of the old one. So i put in the wrong pincode, then it asked for my puk code.. I thought:wait a minute i need my other sim, so i changed the sim and rebooted. And now it just stopped working, its loading everything up to the today screen, when it pops up the window to enter the pincode, i do this and press enter, then i get the message:unknown sim status
When i try to enter the sim for the second time or wait for a minute i get the message: DATACRASH contact service center.
I tried a hard reset, and even got into the today screen without the pincode, where i went to the config screen en used the option to set averything back to factory settings. It rebooted and started the install all over again, and the t-mobile customization stuff.. so i thought nice! working again
But i was wrong, it still has the same problem..i tried the sim in another phone and it is working correctly, so it must be the vario itself that i destroyed..
I contacted the service center and someone from the repair department is contacting me monday, but im afraid they know what there talking about and he/she will find out i tried to unlock it..
So is there anyone that has any idea how im going to get out of this mess?? I dont want to start my new year like this..
I'm just guessing but you could try running lokiwiz again.
Use lokiwiz tool again pls and use both Unlock and CID Unlock tools (means to run it twice)...this mean should help I used lokiwiz02b version flawlessly
yeah i thought of that to but when there's no sim card in the device i cant connect it to my pc, activesync isnt showing any connection.
With a simcard in it i cant boot it up so then i cant get a connection either.
I dont know if a BT connaction would work but i dont have BT on my pc so..
It should connect regardless of the presence of the sim card.

Agreed , without SIM it should start up in a mode similar to "flight Function"
omg im was about to cry yestersday.. i reinstalled activesync 38245 times and did 84567 hard resets on the vario, sometimes it would connect for 5 seconds but then loose it again..
At about 3AM i found out that the usb cable i was using was broken, i took the cable from my camera and it worked like a charm...
So i could run the unlock software again and did it the wright way now :wink:
Ive just been playiong around with tomtom and themes etc, so everything is back to a working order and the fun begins 8)
Tnx to everyone who helped me out!
Is that the cable you got with your Vario? Mine seems to be crap too, the one from my camera is working fine.
indeed, got one from my psp wich is working like a charm, the cable that came with it only works when i push it down..
I recently bought an XDAIIi from ebay knowing that it was defective. The only defect is that there is no service. Apart from that it is working as a PDA perfectly doing the job that i got it for (SAT NAV). Now i starting thinking of the possible reasons that my phone has no service. So in order to check if the hardware of the phone is ok i tried to do a manual network search. When i clicked on the manual search i got an error message saying " Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again". Are there any ideas of what this message means and is there any way to actually fix it?
Note: I am running pug rom with the 02 stuff stipped.
Your Radio hardware is busted to the best of my knowledge ...
you should hard reset.
I managed to kill the service on my 2i once, I cocked up the registry somehow and as soon as I put my pin in it pretty much straight away showed the no service icon (the one with the exclamation mark) regardless of whether I then tapped on it and tried to get service.
Had to hard reset in the end and bingo the problem disappeared (as I suspected it would), but your problem sounds terminal.
are you sure it has not been blocked / black listed with uk networks.
typical reason for no service would be if it had been blocked?
Didn't think of that...
My alpine crashed while driving with tomtom today and I have exactly the same problem.
Looks like it hard reset time.
Hi, I am in need of some help with my MDA Compact which is on a T-Mobile contract.
I am having a number of issues, a lot which have occured since I got it just over a year ago but I have lived with until now. The main issue I have with it now which is quite a major issue is that I am not receiving all of my calls!
I have had a number of people say that they cannot get in touch with me as their call to my phone goes straight to answerphone as if its switched off or has no signal. I then later get a text from T-Mobile saying I have a missed call. Now I know its not turned off and this fault is occuring in full strength signal areas so I assume it is a fault with the phone or software.
I was told by T-Mobile that they needed to send it away and it would be upto 2 weeks before I got it back, I cannot do without it for that long and my old Vario II's battery has died now so cant use that. They said it would just have a software update and I could do that myself.
The other issues I have had with it include....
Turning on screen and it totally freezes, nothing works including the power button, I have to remove the battery.
Press phone button to make a call and it takes me to the programs screen, this happens 2-3 times before sorting itself out.
Internet page gets stuck in ladscape mode or slow to return to portrait.
Hanging in screens and buttons slow to react
Crazed screen as if the screen is cracked, rebooting it is only cure.
On the make call screen, last two dialled numbers appear but keypad is missing although when you press the screen where the numbers should be they appear as each is pressed.
When receiving a message the phone vibrates and will not stop, it continues until phone is turned off.
I sometimes get a phantom unread email that is not there, have to delete email account and set it back up again to clear it.
Back of phone gets very hot when using Web 'n' walk
Also I have Sync'd with my old computer at work last year which was fine. I have downloaded Activesync 4.5(I think) to my laptop and connected my phone to try and back it up. It Sync's but will not copy any contacts, it says I have to disconnect device, download Outlook & open it but I already have Outlook(I have XP home edition 2002 SP3 & Outlook Express 6)
There have been many other faults which I cannot remember right now, I love the phone but I will end up binning it soon if I cannot sort it.
Now heres the problem, I would like to back up all my contacts etc then upgrade my phone but without voiding the warranty. Thing is I have not got a clue where to start.
I have a good basic knowledge of computers but reading the site talking about cooking ROM's etc baffles me a bit.
I need a basic step by step guide to doing this and the best upgrade without voiding the warranty if I can as I have 3-4 months contract left.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you wanna upgrade to any official TMobile ROM for your device, just select one from either official site (TMobile support or HTC support, dunno how you receive support for your device) or you can find it over here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades. If you scroll down on this page you will also find a direct link to Tmobile support.
If that's all you wanna do, then you're good to go as long as you follow the instructions of the RomUpdateUtility (RUU) that comes with the official ROM.
However, if you wanna unlock (which doesn't mean sim unlock) your phone to be able to flash (=upgrade) any ROM (custom, different language, different carrier etc etc), then prepare yourself for a serious piece of reading; everybody on this forum started this way, feeling overwhelmed with information and scared of bricking their phone and voiding warranty. Btw..these links are for GSM devices only. GSM is a device with a sim card, if you don't have a sim card then you have a CDMA device, and that's a differten story at some points.
This is a good way to start:

You have to realize that if you unlock your phone you always gonna void your warranty; luckily there's also a way back to restore to factory settings; more info can be found over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537496
Before you start doing anything...write on a piece of paper:
- your actual SPL version
- your actual Radio version
- your actual ROM version
Google this forum to find the download links for this stuff and be sure you have those three (original) pieces (of software) stored and safe on your computer, to ensure you can always go back to factory settings.
Hope i gave you a start and good luck!
Oo.... Outlook express isn't the same as Outlook, To be able to sync your device via Activesync you have to have Outlook from Microsoft Office installed on your computer

Darn it, knew there would be something!
Thats great, thanks for your help.
BTW, do you think that the update will cure the receiving calls issue?

Honestly, i have no clue if upgrading would solve your problem; your problems might just as well be hardware related, i really can't say.
My first shot would be an official software update from Tmobile, that indeed you can easily perform yourself, and no warranty issue, cuz it's all official.
And if that wouldn't do the trick, well, if i would have your performance on my diamond i wouldn't hestitate to send it in for repair if it still has warranty. That would be my second shot, cuz i think either Tmobile or HTC will/must do some hard- and software testing before returning the device to you, and if they can't solve the problem via software upgrade they have to perform hardware repair as well.
Can't you get a temporary device from the service center? I still have a almost new Qtek 9100 here for you to borrow at no costs, but i'm not responsible for any back or shoulder damage you get from walking around with that thing
I have an HTC one I am trying to bypass the password screen on. It is the screen that requires a numeric password. I don't want to reset and lose anything on the phone. The phone was my son's and he passed away recently and would like all his pictures and videos and such off of it, don't want to hard reset. Can anyone tell me how, if I can do this ? I did get the sim unlock from t-mobile but apparently there are 2 levels, one for the sim and one for the phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
As long as the phone is on can you not connect it to your computer using a usb lead, then in my computer go into the HTC On drive and then copy everything from the phone to your computer?
Hello!
I am new to this forum and also completely new to phone modding etc.
I will shortly explain what situation I am in so maybe someone can enlighten me a little so I know what to do.
A year ago I bought a phone on polish trading site called Allegro.pl, for months it worked without issues, it was a brand new phone.
A few weeks ago a message popped on screen telling me the phone is now locked due to failure in monthly payments. (Previous owner).
I tried all ways of contacting the seller but to no avail. His phone number is off, he does not answer e-mails.
I decided to just ditch the phone and use some old backup phone I had saved. The problem however is that the old phone died and right now I can't afford buying a new one.
Getting this phone into a working condition (without any lock) is my only option so here are the things I have done so far:
I have flashed the latest Android 10 Firmware but right after the initial set up is done (after recovery) the phone locks.
There is no window with the information anymore however, but I can't use any of phone's options or apps in anyway.
I have found a way to bypass that for a brief moment and managed to turn OEM lock off and Enable USB debugging.
(When phone asks for Wi-Fi network I used my old SIM card and told the phone to connect using SIM's connection and right after the initial setup is done I quickly unplugged the SIM so the phone has no connection to internet anymore and the lock didn't start right away. It took me a while to figure it out, been sitting in front of my PC up until 5 am last night.)
If I install TWRP and a custom rom will it bypass the lock on the phone and will I be able to use it normally again?
Will I have to change the firmware somehow, or what exactly will I have to do to make use of the phone again?
IMEI's appear to not be locked as of now.
Any help, information, advice on this subject will be greatly appreciated!
